He was so easy to shop for because all we had to do was gather up broken appliances or toys and he was happy. He also kept all the parts and would "twirl" a certain one sometimes for days until a new one took it's place. He got very agitated if he lost that special part.<br /><br />~chickeeChickeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11528502900671204799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045303808923827751.post-57920774225934372962011-06-06T21:43:13.827-04:002011-06-06T21:43:13.827-04:00Hugs to you!

Although my kids don't break their stuff usually they do lose stuff and demand it immediately to which life doesn't go on till it is found. I can completely relate to that!

My husband always makes the point that this is a stall tactic, they really aren't hungry or thirst, they just don't want to go to sleep.<br /><br />He's right, I know. So we posted a sign in the kitchen, no food or drinks after 7:30pm. We sat them down and explained the rules. It seems to have worked, for now. Now the children are finding other ways to stall, like "I want to wear my purple shirt tomorrow and I can't find it." and they start searching frantically.<br /><br />"Now is not the time to search for it. It is bed time." And out the lights go. <br /><br />Amazingly, they are never hungry or thirsty any more when its time for bed!<br /><br />I hope you can figure out a solution so you don't go through looking for those toy pieces at bed time!! I can totally understand the frustration.<br /><br />Cheers, Jenn.Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02560218212271565856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045303808923827751.post-59147203486649389702011-06-06T11:07:12.181-04:002011-06-06T11:07:12.181-04:00Lovely twist :) Pls check my blog cnovac.blogspot....Lovely twist :) Pls check my blog cnovac.blogspot.com for a well deserved award!Claudia Moserhttp://cnovac.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045303808923827751.post-47432534577335963592011-06-05T22:18:01.750-04:002011-06-05T22:18:01.750-04:00Wonderful post!

We even called Disney to see if we could special order a "lot" of them, knowing we were going to have to make sure she had access.
